Thief of Baghdad
© Ben Hulan, 2004

I support our troops
But I oppose this war
Lies were told and young lives sold
Black gold they're dyin' for
You told us it's for freedom
Well God bless us now we're free
But I don't think Saddam Hussein
Had ever threatened me

    It's sleight of hand
    In the Holy Land
    Thief of Baghdad

I support our troops
But not the President
Acting like his military
Might was Heaven-sent
Now one enemy is gone
But more are sure to rise
The casualties are growing
But God does not take sides

	You can't conceal
	The lives you steal
	Thief of Baghdad
	
		Let's talk about evil
		Let's talk about good
		These people need medicine
		These people need food
		We need relief
		From the Thief of Baghdad

I support our troops
And pray for their return
Soldiers and reservists
Their leave requests all spurned
Fighting with no end in sight
Will we ever learn

	Until that day
	We all must pay
	The Thief of Baghdad

		Let's talk about terror
		Before it's too late
		Can't make the world love us
		But we can temper the hate
		That's my belief
	
		Let's talk about money
		Let's talk about power
		Can you hear me up there
		In your ivory tower
		I'm talkin about regime change
		Y'all Hail the Chief
	Thief of Baghdad
	
I support our troops
